Day 48- "Gentlemen, which brings me to my next point. Don't smoke crack."- The Waterboy

After the marathon writing day, it was time to get back on track with our pro/con paper to end out this three-day cycle. My first class did the marathon writing since they are a day behind due to our different schedule. This class is always interesting, and I never know what is going to be said. I feel as if some of these students could be a poster child for staying off drugs. 

Since we developed our thesis statements earlier this week in my other classes, I decided today would be a good day for the students to get their hands dirty and research their topics. I want to go over organization with them next week, so I figured it would be a grand idea if they had some information to organize. I warned my classes this would not be a paper they could do at the last minute, and the research for this paper was of paramount importance. As I walked around the IMC and answered questions, I believe they took me seriously because they were all looking for information and asking questions about sources. There is hope maybe they are listening in class.
